Syberia

Okay, I've tried using DxWnd to get the game running windowed because I don't like how it's stretched on widescreen monitors, and it seems like Steam is doing something that prevents it from working. Tried turning off the in-game community, doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to get this version to run in a window?

Create a file named player.ini in your Syberia folder with the contents:

800 600 16 0 BaseCMO.cmo

The only value you should ever edit in the ini is the 4th integer (0=windowed mode, 1=full-screen mode). The first three values (Horizontal resolution, vertical resolution, bit depth) are hardcoded so they will be ignored anyway, the last one (name of the main game file) should be left alone.

I had given up, actually. This solution actually seems to work though, so looks like it's back on my list. I had written it off as unplayable, so thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully it helps others as well. =)

Where did you place your ini file? It needs to go in your where the game is located. If you didn't change where that is, then it should be put in Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/SyberiaI can't think of any other reason that it would not work.

I wanted to post and thank Mister E for showing us the fix, it worked beautifully for me for both Syberia and Syberia 2!

For those having issues, make sure that you place the player.ini file in the main Syberia directory, not in any of the extra folders inside:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Syberia

If you have filetypes showing and not hidden, then you can easily make a New Text Document, name it player.txt at first, open it in notepad and enter the line that he specified for your game. Then save it and exit notepad, and rename the file so you can change the suffix from .txt to .ini, and say yes when Windows asks if you want to make the change.
